I have the carbon rail model sitting in a box in my closet awaiting my frameset to mount it too. It's the 155mm size and weighs 169g. It looks nice and comfy. I ride two Toupes on my road and rain bike. If it's as good as the toupe I'll never complain.

I've seen the Romin Evo in person and compared one to my regular Romin. I don't think I will like it. The nose isn't much narrower and the edges/padding is different and I don't know how it will make the saddle work better for me. I've long debated heating up and pulling off the front cover and dremelling down the nose a bit and regluing it back in place.

The Romin is effectively 1 cm longer if you measure from the widest point of both saddles. It doesn't necessarily require any more/less effective setback, but subtract 1 CM from your bb to saddle tip measurement.

I got to the same approximation of 1cm by lining up the two saddles on top of each other at the shoulders.

The other difference I noticed was that saddle height measured from the pedal axle along the seat tube to the top of the seat is about 4mm lower with the Romin compared to the Toupe. I set my saddles up level from nose to end and put this height difference down to the greater curve front-to-back with the Romin.

The Romin also does not sag as much as the Toupe, so you effectively sit higher.

Tried the Evo out on a 4.5 hour ride Saturday- definitely feels different. Slightly less firm (but not soft at all) and the nose feels more comfortable. Giving it a run this week before going back to my Toupe.

I've tried other saddles in the meantime and keep going back to the Toupe even though it gives me slight saddle sores sometimes.

Did any Romin Evo Expert owner happen to weight their saddle?My 143mm Evo Expert weights 232G, quite a big difference from the claimed 205G. I bought it online, so I am just wondering if they sent me a fake one....
